| dc.description.abstract | Background: Uncontrolled postoperative pain
causes prolonged fatigue in the patient which
hinders wound healing, hinders the recovery of
the patient's functions and activities to a normal
state, causes frustration, depression and
hopelessness, and risks increasing treatment
costs.
Purpose: to determine the relationship between
pain and fatigue in postoperative patients.
Methods: the research design is cross-sectional. A
total of 57 postoperative patient samples at
Baladhika Husada III Hospital Jember. The study
used a consecutive sampling technique with a
Numerical Rating Scale instrument with a score of
0 (no pain), 1-3 (mild pain), 4-6 (moderate pain),
7-10 (severe pain). Instrument Fatigue Severity
Scale with a score of <36 (not tired) and ≥36
(tired). Research analysis using Spearman
correlation test with p value = 0.05.
Results: Most of the respondents experienced
moderate pain (57.1%), most of the respondents
experienced fatigue (55.6%). The results of the
Spearman test p value = 0.001 (<0.05) means that
there is a significant relationship between pain
and fatigue in postoperative patients. The
correlation strength value is 0.540 which means
that it is moderately correlated and the direction
of the correlation (+) indicates the higher the pain
score, the higher the fatigue score.
Discussion: Pain has a complex relationship with
fatigue in postoperative patients. Pain is a
predictive factor of postoperative fatigue that can
interfere with physiological recovery, decrease
functional status, and impede control over motor
activity and body functions.
Conclusions: Postoperative pain increases fatigue
and has an impact on the patient's postoperative
recovery. By reducing postoperative pain, it can
prevent or eliminate postoperative fatigue. | en_US |
